Started as a quick mecha sketch, then I played with it while my oc partners finished off their work.

Its a neural bio mech, controlled via connections in the spine and top of the neck, so surgery is required to pilot one of these technological beasts. These mechs are expensive and their applications are very specific, standard 'driven' mechs remain the more commonplace king of the pre-shielded battlefield.

This is probably one of the more realistic powered armor droawings I have seen. The head/helmet of the mech is closer to what you would actually see because you would only want a small and sturdy "viewer" camera instead of a big, fragile visor.

lol if its not fun then you shouldn't draw. simple as that really. me i like listening to a little music whe i draw i find my stuff is alot better with music and when im enjoying drawing it i can sit for hours on a single drawing

lol evry time i draw without music my stuff is shit yet WITH music i sometimes lose track of what im drawing so it ends up a little out there XD so i need a happy medium maybe lower music XD so i can concentrate on my art.

The neural technology isn't so new, so somewhat yea. It's the new shielding technology that makes these fragile machines so effective.My end point was that even with shields making them more desirable, you're going to spend more time worrying about the more numerous conventional mechs.

heh, you for sure. I like mechs but do not have the deep affection for them you do. Oh! if you're near powells anytime soon all the burne hogarth books are on sale for ten bucks a piece. i'm tellin all mah artist friends cause those books are brilliant! :3

Ah, well the bio part means the mechs locomotion is handled ever more by synthetic muscle materials, to achieve more articulation and better mimic the pilots intended movements. Piloting a mech through spinal tap with only conventional servos would be of little performance gain.Thanks for stopping by man.
